Matching Teeth.

matching teeth" is one of the most
tiresome and difficult tasks incidental
to dentistry. As used in the profession,
the term means the selection of arti-
fetal teeth that will correspond in
shape and color with those that nature
has provided. To match in color is
the serious work. The slightest varia-
ton in teeth, not noticeable before the
plate has been made, becomes
serious fault as soon as the made tooth
appears at the side of the natural one.
The shape is less trying on the patience,
says an experienced dental surgeon,
though great measure of the success
depends upon care in this detail. IF
more than one false tooth is to be in
serted, care must be taken that they
be not perfectly uniform in size and
shape. Perfect regularity even in
natural teeth often causes suspicion
among gossipy observers.

sons who have no legal right to the So

and bear most of its outward signs.
This manner Is conciliating to inferi-
ors, distant to equals, and boasts an
ease acquired only in court circles.
There is a strong family likeness among
the fortunate possessors of the manner;
they are OF large physique and their
gowns rustic when they walk fact

of warning of their approach. that the
